Hi unique brand of multi-vocalism[an eclectic mix of singing,beatboxing,rapping and crowdhyping has got him playing the dance tent at Glastonbury and the breaksday tent at Glade Festival,a performnace that was dubbed by DJ Mag as "Arguabley the best set of the festival".
Xander spent the last summer touring Europe with breaks duo Jay Cunning and Atomic Hooligan and more recently,Russia wheer they played to a whopping 12,000 people.Not bad for someone whos first gig was February last year(2004)at the International breakbeat awards.Coming full circle in Feb to play a full scale Live set with Atomic Hooligan at Breakpoll 2005 and flat out destroying the main room at Fabric,leaving Evil 9 in there wake.
Aswell as backing DJs,xander with the help of a looping pedal is now wowing crowds around London with his sets ENTIRELY created with his mouth,a feat not to be missed as it makes him less of a human beatboxer and more a human DJ Tool.
White Light
MC Xander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Farewell brother, we gotta go, Got to open the mind, touch the plateau.
When I journey to the base of this pain I place the blame on the one who holds my name and no-one else, deal with the cards I’ve been dealt, I’m about to follow what I’ve always felt.
I got the spinning conspiracies evoked close to me, one man’s delusion is one man’s satori, well I’m feeling the third eye presence, bright luminescence, my hands are shaking with the outside essence.
Enough muse on my recent demise, we got the way and the means so we rise, consciously, into the ether. If you remain true to yourself they will be believe you.
I hold this close to me, you gotta know I hold this close to me.
Now elevate up from a place mundane, without the pulse of fear pushing terror to my brain,
they can keep their backward mindset I’ll defect and show the world what I’m seeing yet.
Learning to expose the lie, we are falling to another dawning I hear the warning sign as calamity clamours for popularity
I’m left trying to justify why I can hear the poem like a rhapsody, you can never tear down the factory, you can never know why the ghetto vibrates I contemplate placing normality. You say I want to hold this close to me, well I’m wearing these words like a rosary as we’re moving deep inside, moving into the bright white light.
If you remain true to yourself they will believe you,
If you remain true to yourself they can’t deceive you.
If you remain true to yourself they’ll probably want to be you.
The lyrics of MC Xander's song White Light talk about facing one's fears and taking control of one's destiny. The singer acknowledges the pain he has felt in his life and takes responsibility for it, blaming no one else. He talks about experiencing delusions, but at the same time feeling the presence of a higher power, represented by the opening of his third eye. He urges listeners to be true to themselves, elevating from a mundane existence to a higher level of consciousness. MC Xander also comments on society's backward mindset and the need to expose the lies that keep people trapped in a limited way of thinking. In the end, he moves "into the bright white light," metaphorically reaching a place of enlightenment and liberation.

We gotta face it head on this time and I’m touching base with the moving inner eye,
We need to confront our issues directly and I am connecting with my intuition.

We are discovering the truth and realizing our current state is temporary. We hear the signs of impending disaster as people support destructive actions for the sake of being popular.
I’m left trying to justify why I can hear the poem like a rhapsody, you can never tear down the factory, you can never know why the ghetto vibrates I contemplate placing normality.
I struggle to explain why I am so moved by this poem. You can never completely destroy the oppressive system, and you can never understand why people in poverty thrive in their community. I am considering abandoning the status quo.
You say I want to hold this close to me, well I’m wearing these words like a rosary as we’re moving deep inside, moving into the bright white light.
You may say that I want to protect this, but I am carrying these words with me like a sacred object. As we journey deep into ourselves, we move towards the brilliant white light.
If you remain true to yourself they will believe you,
If you remain true to yourself they can’t deceive you.
If you remain true to yourself they’ll probably want to be you.
If you stay true to your values and beliefs, others will trust and support you. You can not be misled if you stay true to yourself. Others will likely view you as a positive example.
